I refuse to write a poem about you
Because if I do
I fear you'll slip away
Fall right past the words
Slip right through the spaces
Decay right into the pages
I refuse to write a poem about you
Because if I repeat everything that I did
When I loved him
I fear we'll repeat a similar fate
To the one that took him away
I refuse to write a poem about you
Because if these pages
These words
These notes
Learn about you
I fear I'll have to learn
How to forget
Because my poems will consume you
I refuse to write a poem about you
Because if I do
They will hunt you down
Seek you out
Salivate at your taste
And take you away
Once they find you
I refuse to write a poem about you
Because deep down
I cannot lose you
